Luke 1:77

Luke 1:77

75 ^aIn holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

76 “And you, child, will be called the ^aprophet of the Highest;
For ^byou will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

77 To give ^aknowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the¹ Dayspring from on high has visited us;

79 ^aTo give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To ^bguide our feet into the way of peace.”

80 So ^athe child grew and became strong in spirit, and ^bwas in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

<< Luke 1:76

Luke 1:78 >>

Luke 1:77 By the remission of their sins. The remainder of the sentence embodies the gospel in brief. It promises (1) salvation, (2) not merely political but spiritual. A remission of, and redemption from sin, (3) indicates the cause—the divine mercy (compare John 3:16; Eph 2:4-8), and (4) promises the result, "like to eyes in darkness, and peace to feet straying in paths of sorrow and perplexity".
